Hey there folks, Texas homer here. I can speak for many of us from the 40 acres and state that Texas being thought in the same breath as JawJaw is ridiculous. If Texas can walk out of November with a 10 win record, I'll be pretty satisfied with that on its face. Texas has a defense issue missing Murphy and Sweat. The SEC will run all over us if we cant come up with someone special. Our offense can and will keep up with anyone but the d-line might be a problem.
Might. It also may be just fine with the talent that is still here and the very experienced, but IDL that we’re portaled in. I think they’ll be fine but we’ll have to see.
It just means more. I think yall will be alright....but youre gonna get everyones best shot. Texas is no slouch ...neither is oklahoma. But it gets crazy. The fans are ridiculous. Have fun.
SEC plays to Texas strengths instead of facing a constant air raid every week. There’s zero talent gap between Texas, Georgia and Alabama. Texas will retain more in state talent that they usually lose to SEC powerhouses. Things are looking up.
@@AR_HTX didn’t they lose to tcu? didn’t they have to dip into the transfer portal for starters? Didn’t they have one of the worst passing defenses? Didn’t Ewers get sacked as much as Wyoming and Tulane ?
I like how this is supposedly the best Texas team in a decade that was simultaneously gifted the weakest schedule in the SEC!! So Texas doesn’t need to pat itself on the back too hard
We move to the SEC and first yall said “SEC is to tough for Texas” now yall are saying we have an easy schedule!!!! All you haters do is move the finish line! Get a grip, besides all those little 12 titles Texas and OU have the same ammount of nattys since 2000….
I’m a Texas fan and expect a national championship appearance. I also expect them to go and have no more than 1 loss on their regular season schedule. Texas is gonna punch everyone in the mouth. I also know they’re gonna retain more in state talent and improved recruiting moving forward as well as receiving more SEC portal transfers from in conference like they have already been doing. If you think someone is gonna push Texas around or you’re worried then you haven’t been paying attention. 🤘🏼
I can think of no fewer than 4 teams that will man handle Texas this season. Ewers is there but they lost a LOT. Dawgs are looking like the top dog once again
In terms of raw talent and personnel- UGA and Bama reign supreme. Texas is going to have rude awakening this season. These SEC teams are a far cry from a Kansas University ffs
@@ryanrobin12 I totally agree with you and I agreed with the other video you commented on. Taking nothing away from Texas but they are confident by the victory in Sugar over Dawgs and the Dawgs had starters opt out more than FSU crying about UGA lose. Nobody is opting out of this game and Texas is not going to surprise the Dawgs and this will be a statement by King Kirby. Go Dawgs
@@Mark-zx2bq Oklahoma and Texas both have 16 incoming transfers - Texas had the #6 signing class, but Oklahoma wasn't too far off at #8. Gabriel staying would surely have put the Sooners in people's focus a lot more, but their talent level is VERY close to Texas.
@@pleasenobotsjd1744 They are going to be playing OL transfers, but they are upperclassmen, so at the very least they will be physically mature, which will help a lot.

Why does Mr. Paul Finebaum, a very fine gentleman with incredible knowledge about CFB, persist in isolating and identifying Deion Sanders for ridicule and disrespect? So Deion’s coaching of children and youth in his academy, in High School, at Jackson State for 3 seasons, and now in year 2 at Colorado are not coaching, he is doing that only as a “celebrity” masquerading as a coach? This level of vitriol begs the question about the real motive of Mr. Finebaum for this level of disrespect. What does Deion Sanders need to do for Mr. Finebaum to, at least, recognize and accept Deion Sanders as a coach on par with other coaches in CFB? We need to know what is at the bottom of this issue!
I'm a Texas fan, and I am expecting us not to miss the post-season. Playoffs? I want to believe we're back at that level, but we have an all-new receiver corps and an often-injured QB with a RS freshman backup. Our O-line and secondary are decent but I am going to be kinda surprised if we actually pull off a 10-win season, just based on our recent history.
Texas hasn't proven themselves yet but they remind me of Georgia a few years ago. That roster is nasty. Let's see how they progress. Also, nobody is talking about how Georgia has not had a schedule this hard in the old SEC. Overrated? We will see. And why isn't Alabama in the conversation. They have a nasty roster with a coach who has always won with way less. Alabama scares me.
@@beastofalbeasts1 yeah AFTER they had already played a conference schedule that was tougher than Texas Texas needs to show they can play in a stronger conference AND potentially win the SEC for that win over Bama to mean anything
Why does no one ever talk about Malaki Starks like they do Caleb Downs? Bet all of you five bucks, Malaki is more successful and impactful, both this season, and in the foreseeable future.
Georgia is heavily staffed, if ya next man up not as good as or developed as there's or any team with depth..... You'll be very disappointed. Go Dam Dawgs!!!!
Texas was in the BIG12 and had one season in the conference 8 and 1? 8 and 1 in the SEC is a whole other story. We’ll see how big and bad everyone thinks they are week after week even with their warm up schedule
Texas fans mainly but people are underestimating how tough it’s gonna be for Texas and OU to come compete in the SEC yes on the surface the teams from both conferences look similar… Florida who is a bad team right now has atleast 4 players that are going to be in the NFL if not more vandy is comparable to most of the teams in their conference with 1 or 2 players that will be in the nfl but everybody else has atleast 4-6 and at the upper level of the sec you have 8-15 maybe even more it’s night and day the level of competition because one thing you Texas fans have to remember that your record doesn’t make you in college football
Vandy is not comparable to the majority teams that have been in the B12 during UT/OU tenure. The hard proof is look at all the nonconf and bowl matchups between the SEC and B12 over the years. Vandy barely wins any games in conference, whereas the Big 12 in bowl games in the 2020s has won 60% (9 out of 15) of the matchups. Vandy wins what, like 10% of their SEC matchups. Your perception of the B12 is skewed to a crazy fault. No doubt the B12 programs are not at financially capable or even as talented as the SEC based off draft standards, but that doesn’t mean they don’t field good, effective teams. KSU and Okst are both good examples of B12 teams. They produce some NFL players, not a ton, but they don’t beat themselves and they play very strong fundamental football as they are coached very well and that makes for teams better than the sum of their parts. Don’t be fooled, football is not only about individual talent. Certainly the SEC will be more of a grind physically, but I honestly don’t believe it’s going to be WAY harder by any means. The B12 has a lot of more than capable teams who are hard to beat. Especially for OU and UT who actually get every single teams focus and best shot. In the SEC, they won’t be focused with the same respect and intensity from each team each week, which is a benefit to both as a balance to the increased physicality of the league. Let’s not act like UT and OU aren’t as deep as anyone in the SEC to handle injury for example. UT more so than OU. They’ll be fine imo but find out soon enough
@@cameronmiller7980 I’m not saying Texas or Oklahoma are gonna come in and do terrible I’m just saying that it’s gonna be tough playing a schedule where you have gimme games to now coming to the SEC where there is no gimme games back in the B12 you have teams that produce nfl talent but nobody compares to the SEC teams you have nobody in the b12 producing nfl talent like UF let alone the rest of the sec and uf is doing terrible rn I’m not saying on a neutral field your B12 teams wouldn’t beat any sec team it may happen but the grind it’s going to be Texas and OU had nobody to match them in talent they could walk into a 10 win season without trying but Texas idk what their problem was for the longest but anyway coming into the SEC you won’t just have better players than everybody anymore you won’t just be able to beat people because your better anymore Texas might still be able to on some SEC teams because let’s be honest they are very talented but even a poverty program like vandy is producing nfl talent like the next best program in the B12 when your playing a rigorous schedule like they are gonna play from now on it’s gonna be tough sledding hey they might still go undefeated but that grind of the sec is no joke
@@OnlyMissed2K what do you think bowls are? They’re literally neutral games so you’re wrong there. Regardless, I agree the SEC is clearly more physical and talented individually. Again, that doesn’t make it a way harder schedule. Hard is winning and losing, not necessarily physical. There certainly have been walk in the park programs in the SEC. It’s only been lately since NIL came out that more teams like Tenn, Mizz, etc became relevant and any good again. You’re missing the point I made. The big 12 doesn’t have to be loaded with nfl talent, they are very good at playing good, fundamental ball, they don’t beat themselves, and they have really good coaching who tend to make unpredictable gameplan. In the SEC teams have talent and stick to who they are which makes them predictable. In the B12, teams know they are less talented than UT/OU and so they go to drastic measures and pull out strategies they’ve never shown before. For example, Houston had literally never played 3 high safety but pulled it out against Texas because they know that’s been the best type of defense to defend sarks offense. In the SEC, teams aren’t going to change their style and strengths just because Texas comes to town. That’s going to be a huge advantage for Sark, I guarantee it. Teams are going to struggle putting two high safety against Sarks offense. Texas has been one of the best run games in the country and always have been. Now they have a complete upperclassman, massive sized OL similar to the biggest anyone in the SEC has. You’re absolutely gonna see them run the ball effectively this year. Texas is deep at every position, they’ll be more than fine for a grinding schedule
@@cameronmiller7980 I think your getting college football confused with the NFL in the nfl your record tells you exactly how good a team was in a given year… in college football it’s a way different world let me give you a hypothetical no team name right? Team A and team B Team A is undefeated they play in the B12 they missed OSU and oregon and went undefeated let’s say in this scenario osu and Oregon lost a game in conference and beat USC in the conference championship… Team B: they play in the SEC they played Texas UGA and Alabama and get out with 2 losses and didn’t make the conference championship Are you really gonna tell me team A is better than team B because they’re undefeated?
@@OnlyMissed2K there’s a delicate balance between who is better and who is deserving. It’s impossible to tell in your scenario who is better because absolutely the undefeated Big 12 teams could be better than the two loss SEC team. But they certainly are more deserving if they’re undefeated, especially if they win their conference. The best team doesn’t and shouldn’t always get in. You could use last season as an example of that. Georgia was probably a best 4 team but they weren’t one of the top 4 most deserving.
For Texas, their route isn’t going to be an easy one. They have “two” much to prove. For Georgia, they have too many distractions going on in their program. Georgia will make playoffs, but will never see anything National Championship.
The SEC has already "fixed" the TEXAS VS. GEORGIA game. They scheduled Georgia to play Mississippi State the week before Texas. They scheduled Texas to play OKLAHOMA the week before Georgia. Pretty slick.
@@moniquewatkins9952 Certainly it makes a difference. Georgia will play Mississippi State, a relatively weak team, before the Texas game. Essentially, that gives Georgia two weeks to prepare for Texas, plus, they won't take the physical pounding that Texas will get from Oklahoma. Those things make alot of difference, regardless of how good you are.
@@Patrick-sb2sb Sooooo, you all say in one breath how you will run the SEC and then whine because you have a tough game two weeks in a row? Again, it shouldn’t matter who you play or when you play them if you all are going to run the SEC. How are you all going to prove all of this preseason hype if you only play cupcake teams the week before a “tough” game. THINK (and play) LIKE CHAMPIONS!!! BOOMER!!!
@@moniquewatkins9952 I'm actually not a Texas fan; but I am smart enough to see how the SEC is trying to keep Texas or OU from winning the conference their first year in. They did the same thing to OU...... You listen to the media too much. Texas hasn't been doing any talking at all. Nothing but media hype. Good luck to Texas and Oklahoma this year. I hope they both make some noise.
The Big Ten, if the trend continues, will be the most watched conference, based on population alone. They need to get casual fans (see Swift/Kelce propaganda) on board. College football is and always will be regional, the large cities in that geo foot print have the numbers to crush, if they can produce a product that casuals can buy into, just like they buy into all their pro teams.
If anything I would say from OU on is the gauntlet, first 5 games it’s either 4-1 or 5-0 based on the outcome vs Michigan. But as a fan I say 10-2 best is 11-1 cause the SEC and difference in athletes will be killer
That’s the extent of your so called hard schedule. The sec set up Texas for 2 straight years of weak opponents outside of Georgia and OU. Weak longhorn team
Texas is not going to win the SEC, and Oregon is not going to win the Big10 this season. These are the two most overrated teams in the country. I predict both will lose at least three games this season, and neither will make the playoffs.
Texas schedule is hard every year because every single team wants to beat Texas. Texas gets everyone's best every week. I dont think people understand how hard that is.
Here s my take on this. I think TX . Will win at home against GEOGIA but loose against Oklahoma & that GEOGIA get s a rematch in the sec. Title game against tx. & wins. As far as that goes, I got the final 4 as GEOGIA, Oregon, TX. & believe it or not folk's, MAYBE a sleeper like Ole miss .
How many year's have have espn flunkys pick Georgia to be the best team in the sec and gets prove incorrect when alabama is on the other sideline Georgia has to prove they own the sec not done it yet Texas cant handle the sec

BOOMER!!!
@@moniquewatkins9952 I'm actually not a Texas fan; but I am smart enough to see how the SEC is trying to keep Texas or OU from winning the conference their first year in. They did the same thing to OU...... You listen to the media too much. Texas hasn't been doing any talking at all. Nothing but media hype. Good luck to Texas and Oklahoma this year. I hope they both make some noise.
bad for rivals: wait and see: I"ll watch that one
ohio state being No.10 is obsurd
No. 10 in spelling, for sure! 😅
Osu sucks and has Lincoln jr as their coach
LSU @ SC, Texas A&M at Florida....ABC....not so sure about that
ALL THAT TELLS ME IS FINEBAUM IS OLD.
The Big Ten, if the trend continues, will be the most watched conference, based on population alone. They need to get casual fans (see Swift/Kelce propaganda) on board. College football is and always will be regional, the large cities in that geo foot print have the numbers to crush, if they can produce a product that casuals can buy into, just like they buy into all their pro teams.
Matt Barrie should replace Finebaum with Klay Travis of OutKick. Klay knows college football and is from the South
I doubt Clay has the time, he's spread pretty thin with big stuff. He's at apex flex in his career right now.
Texas is not even in top 10. They are about equal to OU which should be a bit higher than 15
Texas has a favorable schedule ? We play Michigan Oklahoma Georgia plus the “gauntlet” of the sec . Gtfo
If anything I would say from OU on is the gauntlet, first 5 games it’s either 4-1 or 5-0 based on the outcome vs Michigan. But as a fan I say 10-2 best is 11-1 cause the SEC and difference in athletes will be killer
That’s the extent of your so called hard schedule. The sec set up Texas for 2 straight years of weak opponents outside of Georgia and OU. Weak longhorn team
@@pureblood3823 how is that our fault? We don’t choose our schedule
Shut up dabo😂😂😂
Y'all hype Texas up too much, they're good and all but let's see how durable they'll be when they play real hunting hounds every week
Wouldn't that make them #2?
Texas will be competitive but LSU will run the SEC in 2024. You heard it here First.
With all their offensive production gone and their 120th ranked defense? Don’t think so.
TBD sept 21
If you ever feel worthless remember that Paul finebaum exist.
The shadow is real 😠😵💫
Pawl thinks the world revolves around he and Saban, the shadow is real 🫵👀
Texas is not going to win the SEC, and Oregon is not going to win the Big10 this season. These are the two most overrated teams in the country. I predict both will lose at least three games this season, and neither will make the playoffs.
Texas schedule is hard every year because every single team wants to beat Texas. Texas gets everyone's best every week. I dont think people understand how hard that is.
Just stop that weak nonsense. You were given one of the weakest schedules in the nation. A weak schedule for a weak team.
@@pureblood3823 You wouldn’t know what that’s like, it’s okay
Paul is the skip of ncaa analytics
Games havent started so its still offseason for me. Mlb is more important.
Here s my take on this. I think TX
. Will win at home against GEOGIA but loose against Oklahoma & that GEOGIA get s a rematch in the sec. Title game against tx. & wins. As far as that goes, I got the final 4 as GEOGIA, Oregon, TX. & believe it or not folk's, MAYBE a sleeper like Ole miss .
arkansas @ OSU, South Carolina @ Kentucky.....ABC....not so sure about that: you can lose
Texas is good but not as good as Oklahoma
Oklahoma has had some down years. Texas is gonna be ranked higher
lol ---
Convinced Finebaum’s ears are fake -FSU fan (you asked for it buddy)
Neither
Paul holds zero punches when it comes to teams he dislikes smh! Makes for great entertainment though!
How many year's have have espn flunkys pick Georgia to be the best team in the sec and gets prove incorrect when alabama is on the other sideline Georgia has to prove they own the sec not done it yet Texas cant handle the sec
box score
UCLA @ LSU
Texas are? Lol grammar
Texas won't get past Michigan.
SEC championship will be a three way race between Georgia, LSU, and A&M. Texas don't stand a chance. Gig'Em!
I needed this laugh. A&M will definitely have a winning record this season but they won’t be competing for an SEC championship lol.
A$m will win nothing just like the loser longhorns
@@pureblood3823 Texas will win more than the aggies bozo
A&M LOSING TO ND
@@cookienutt8929 gonna be a good game for sure
SEC just weaker with Texas and Jokelahoma. Big12 got super weak with Colorado and ASU joining, and the Big10 is the outright winner.
Bro what
Lol the big 10? 😂😂
Jokelahoma really
You are delusional
You will see OKLAHOMA will rise up in the SEC
14 BIG12 Championship
Texas 4
Knock is actually right. Some ''Premier'' Programs are going to become the Vandy's and Rutgers of the conference's.
@@aaronlampkin284 Who are they ?
If finebaums ears were any bigger he’d fly off the set.
miami @ UF. ABC...getting questionable
Why does no one ever talk about Malaki Starks like they do Caleb Downs? Bet all of you five bucks, Malaki is more successful and impactful, both this season, and in the foreseeable future.
How many year's have have espn flunkys pick Georgia to be the best team in the sec and gets prove incorrect when alabama is on the other sideline Georgia has to prove they own the sec not done it yet Texas cant handle the sec
Texas could be anywhere from 2 to 8 in the SEC.
Georgia is the Class of Conference until proven otherwise.
